Title I

Dwight Public Schools Title I Program

Title I is a federally funded program that helps schools provide assistance to students who may need additional help in meeting success at school. The Title I program is designed to assist all students as they learn to read and write, Title I teachers are trained as specialists in reading. In reading, Title I supports students in many different experiences including reading, writing, spelling, speaking and listening. The Title I program serves as a key resource in the Response to Intervention (RTI) process that all Dwight Public Schools use to help our struggling students.

Children Served

All students can benefit from the school-wide (#232) and targeted-assistance (#230) Title I programs offered at Dwight Public Schools. Students who meet certain qualifications for additional support may receive additional services in reading, writing, and/or language arts.

Parent Advisory Committee

The Title I Parent Advisory Committee will meet periodically during the year. The committee takes an active role in crafting the school plan. They discuss ways to improve student achievement as well as improve parent and community involvement.
